Got a kid that just can't stop keeping the beat? Who is always banging on pots, pans, walls, and anything else they can find? This class is for them! Little Drummers is a high energy class that teaches the basics of rhythm, tempo, types of drums, and more! Each class will begin with a hello song, then we will move to a rhythm game. After our rhythm game, we will begin learning our theme for the day(themes listed below). With our theme, we will use games, songs, and playing on our own to solidify our learning. At the end of class, we will sing a goodbye song. This class is super fun and interactive but also encouraging. We understand all learners come to us on different levels and everyone is welcome! Just a note: due to the interactive musical part of this class, learners will remain on mute for most of the class and be asked to unmute when it is their time to share. Also, it is great to have a drumset for this class but if you do not have one, you can use buckets or tupperware of different sizes.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi everyone! We are so excited to have Wonderworks Learning and Arts Center join the Outschool community! Wonderworks is located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, about 30 minutes away from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Starting in 2012, we began with a vision of bringing high quality music classes to kids in our very rural area who had very little opportunities for music classes. In 2019, we added art and tutoring to our listings and have loved seeing our business grow!
Our teachers come from a wide variety of jobs and educational backgrounds, but one thing is required to be a teacher at Wonderworks: a love for their art form and a love of working with kids! Our teachers work to inspire the children they teach by meeting them where they are. No one is ever turned away from our Wonderworks community.
We believe that every human being has the capability to learn and achieve success in their learning, regardless of their individual needs when they start. Every single student that becomes apart of our community is welcomed with open arms and we will work with them to meet their individual needs.
Wonderworks is a fun, laughter filled place. We love to have fun, be silly, and make learning exciting. We can't wait to see you in class!
